This does not sound too promising. How reliable is this service? With the amount of sniping going on these days I wonder if it will really help to use a sniping assistant, as it will depend on the sniper with the highest bid anyway. I suppose the typical sniper does not follow the auction to the last second, so maybe a manual bid towards the end would work just as well. If not - the others were simply prepared to pay more... Their service is normally very reliable--I've been using it three years. To use a sniper site successfully one must know exactly how high one is willing to bid on any particular item. It's true that one may be outbid by another sniper. But it's also true that sniping works against are those who are not sure how high they are willing to bid.

You know, you must be right! Never heard of a drought before global warming! : Global warming will cause climate changes, but it's too early to predict the nature of those changes. A sobering scenario might see the US climate become something like Australia's, where deserts develop east of the Mississippi, and a sizable percentage of the interior land becomes uninhabitable.

Bumping this up - I just noticed there's an infinity symbol on auction stealer, where it used to show me that I had 3 free snipes per week. Does anyone else use the free version of Auctionstealer? Do they now offer unlimited sniping for free? I used it last night, and afaik it hasn't charged me anything. The site was down last week, and when I tried to use it earlier this week it did not recognize me as a registered user. So I re-registered, and now I too have an infinity symbol where the count of free snipes used to be. Go figure.

The New York Times Printer Friendly Format Sponsored By October 8, 2007 Editorial A Muse Unplugged At the height of his bardic powers, Allen Ginsberg could terrify the authorities with the mere utterance of the syllable “om” as he led street throngs of citizens protesting the Vietnam War. Ginsberg reigned as the raucous poet of American hippiedom and as a literary pioneer whose freewheeling masterwork “Howl” prevailed against government censorship in a landmark obscenity trial 50 years ago. It is with a queasy feeling of history in retreat that poetry lovers discover that WBAI, long the radio flagship of cocky resistance to government excess, decided last week that it couldn’t risk a 50th anniversary broadcast of the late poet’s recording of “Howl.” The station retreated out of fear that the Federal Communications Commission would levy large obscenity fines that might bankrupt the small-budget station. The retreat was hardly an exercise of the sort of rhetorical paranoia that listeners rate as part of the charm of WBAI, an outlet with a brave history in broadcasting such free speech as George Carlin’s comedic “seven dirty words.” No, this time the broadcaster had to be mindful that the F.C.C. had already fined CBS $550,000 for its absurd nanosecond telecast of Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction.” Stations are rightly worried these days that airing “fleeting expletives” can cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars a pop. The result is a growing tendency toward self-censorship. WBAI is hardly alone in flinching. Public broadcasting stations already are editing Ken Burns’s new documentary on World War II, eliminating pungent four-letter talk from the eyewitness accounts of G.I. Joe. If Ginsberg were still with us, he would undoubtedly pen a mocking line or two about his poem being banned from the airwaves 50 years after it was ruled not to be obscene. Congress, of course, could redress the F.C.C.’s bullying powers if it wanted to. But lately, the Capitol’s most energetic broadcast agenda has been conservative members’ organizing against any attempt to restore the fairness doctrine to political broadcast, which could crimp the 24/7 rants of right-wing talk radio. The poet would understand, having once noted: “Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture.” Home * World * U.S. * N.Y. / Region * Business * Technology * Science * Health * Sports * Opinion * Arts * Style * Travel * Jobs * Real Estate * Automobiles * Back to Top Copyright 2007 The New York Times Company * Privacy Policy * Search * Corrections * RSS * First Look * Help * Contact Us * Work for Us * Site Map

http://www.virtualcities.com/ons/id/gov/idgvlc10.htm Super Tuber is a great snack that uses one of my favorite vegetables: The Idaho Potato. Of course, I suppose any type of potato could be used, but I cannot guarantee that a Super Tuber made with anything but a true Idaho potato would taste as good. Sincerely, Larry E. Craig, United States Senator Ingredients 1 hot dog, cook's choice 1 Idaho baking potato, 7 to 10 ounces Mustard for dipping, any style Other condiments as desired such as cheese sauce, sour cream, chili, chives, bacon pieces or black olives. Wash and dry potato. Rub with shortening or butter. With an apple corer or small knife, core out the potato center (end to end). Push hot dog through the center. Bake until potato is cooked through. To Microwave: Place on microwave safe plate; cover loosely (to avoid splatters). Microwave on high about 4 minutes per potato until fork tender. To Bake in Conventional Oven: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake for approximately one hour or until potato is fork tender. To Barbecue: Wrap in aluminum foil and place above medium hot coals, turning at least once during cooking. Cook until potato is fork tender. Serving Suggestions: Allow potato to cool slightly. Eat as a finger food, dipping in your favorite hot dog condiments (mustard is my favorite). Suzanne Craig

LONDON (AP) -- Super spicy chili sauce being cooked at a London Thai restaurant sparked road closures and evacuations after passers-by complained that the smell was burning their throats, police said Wednesday. London Fire Brigade's chemical response team was called after reports that a strong smell was wafting from the restaurant in the heart of London's Soho district Monday afternoon, a Metropolitan police spokesman said, speaking anonymously in line with force policy. Authorities sealed off several premises and closed roads. The Times of London described shoppers coughing and spluttering as firefighters wearing special breathing masks sought the source of the smell. The paper said firefighters smashed down the door of the Thai Cottage restaurant and seized extra-hot bird's eye chilies which had been left dry-frying. It said they were being prepared as part of a batch of Nam Prik Pao, a spicy Thai dip. ''The smoke didn't go up into the sky because of the rain and the heavy air,'' The Times quoted Thai Cottage owner Sue Wasboonma as saying. ''It's the hottest thing we make.'' The police spokesman said no arrests were made in the case. ''As far as I'm aware it's not a criminal offense to cook very strong chili,'' he said.

I've heard the expression in English, and also noticed it applied most frequently to automobiles. I believe it's a nearly archaic expression at this point.

Hello Ms. Elodi, Your faith in this fellow "Bright Moments" as an appropriate ""guradian" for a ripe young virgin such as yourself is entirely misplaced, unless you want your entire fortune invested in Les Paul paraphernalia. Brownian

I still think the versions that come after are covers, whether they become "definitive" or not. And whether they try to make a recording that follow the original closely, or dramatically re-interprets it. So John Coltrane is covering Julie Andrews on "My favorite Things"?
